SUGAR BOWL - Ohio State went OVER three of its last four games, and the Buckeyes are averaging 42.5 points per game while Clemson averages 44.9. The Tigers had gone OVER five games in a row before their defense did the job against Virginia Tech and Notre Dame, holding them to 10 points apiece. The Tigers will have a tougher time against the Ohio State offense, which is led by QB Justin Fields, who has thrown for 1,521 yards and 15 touchdowns with only five interceptions and a completion rate of 72.6 percent. Fields actually had his worst game of the season versus Northwestern, but the Buckeyes still managed to pull out a victory and win the Big 10 championship. The star of that game was Trey Sermon who exploded for 331 yards on 29 rushing attempts for an amazing 11.0 yards per carry, and two weeks before he also averaged 11.0 yards with 112 on 10 attempts against Michigan State. Clemson has the likely No. 1 draft pick in Trevor Lawrence, and he completed 25 of 36 for 322 yards and two TDs in the Notre Dame rematch after he missed the first meeting. Travis Etienne ran for 124 yards on 12 yards per carry against the Fighting Irish. Obviously, both teams have several huge weapons on offense. Play the OVER.
